Tekton Double Impacts

Anybody out there heard these??

I have dedicated audio room 14.5x20.5x9 ft.  Currently have Marantz Reference CD/Intergrated paired to Magnepan 1.7's with REL T-7 subs.  For the vast majority of music I love this system.  The only nit pick is that it is lacking/limited in covering say below 35 hz or so.  For the first time actually buzzed the panel with an organ sacd. Bummer.  Thought of upgrading subs to rythmicks but then I will need to high pass the 1.7's.  Really don't want to deal with that approach.

Enter the Double Impacts.  Many interesting things here.  Would certainly have a different set of strengths here.  Dynamics, claimed bottom octave coverage in one package, suspect a good match to current electronics.

I've read all the threads here so we do not need to rehash that.  Just wondering if others out there have FIRST HAND experience with these or other Tekton speakers

Thanks.

david,
Bacchetta gives you a choice of three colors-blue, then there's blue, and the last choice is blue.  I went with blue.  Good thing it is a really cool blue!

Interesting you mention the Tekton meet.  I was thinking the very same thing earlier today!  What about Chicago this summer?  I'll nominate brother teajay.  After all, we all want to hear the Ulfs, right?

Jon,

Wonderful plan. Count me in, pending Terry's acceptance.

Orem, UT sounds like a good spot also. We can get some riding in! : )

The Blue is sharp! You should see what my 4 yr old picked out for the bike option:

He loved how he could be dry while I got wet (he's quite familiar with all the rain we get here).

@brotw  I might miss that 'lead sled,' especially on longer, easier terrain rides...  I ordered a close cousin today, the Carbon X1 version, shown here:

Saved a bit by going with a 2017 vs a 2018...the florescent green is actually functional for me, since I do a lot of urban riding...a safety thing from my motorcycling days.

I drive a car now, because other people in cars on their cellphones run over people who don't and I wanted to live.

@david_ten not many suspensionless bikes grab my attention but who needs suspension with tires like that. Could be the ultimate comfort trail bike as long as your not facing big drops. Here in the Santa Clarita area we have plenty of big rocks and drops so 4-5" suspension is a must. I still need to try one of those. Happy trails.

David,
Gotta love your 4 yr. old son.  Thinkin ahead.  What a hoot.  Reminds me of a trip to Wisconsin about 12 yrs ago with my daughter.  A week long trip in Dorr County.  Riding into Green Bay it had to be 110 degrees on the asphalt.  Only time I've had heat exhaustion.  Took 6 liters of fluid to get me right.  The next day a rain of Biblical proportion came down down and frankly we really didn't care.  Rain was better than heat.  Our tandem recumbent had to gain an extra 8# from fluid retention. Your son would of thought that soooo cooool in his rainproof fortress!

Alright , time to get on track.  The system is toasty warm. Time for the DI's to recreate a performance of The Nutcracker, Semyon Bychkov and the Berliner Philharmoniker.  OBTW,  Bychkov conducted the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra early in his career--my hometown.
